Wild West Show At Mirada Fine Art
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.” ― Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's
Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of my favorite Audrey films. I have followed her since I was a little girl, awed by her grace and beauty in each and every film.  This quote by Truman Capote rings loud for all of us.  You just cannot run from things in life... especially yourself.  Celebrate what you have and use the gifts you have been given.
Personally I struggle with self esteem issues.  Why I do not know. I modeled from age 13 to age 35.  You would think, why?  So do I.   I believe it resulted from things that happened growing up and the need to seek approval from others for who I was...or today who I am. Even today I wonder who I truly am because I have spent most of my life transforming into whatever I needed to be to survive.   How do you stop? 
I am hoping to start with priorities and changing those up a bit as we made this downsized move. Things are changing around us and we have to allow the change to settle in without the 'panic' settling in. Today is not yesterday and tomorrow is not here.  Letting go and shaking off the control is new.  Deep breath... God is here and He has the lead. Time to let go and be WILD!
The show opens in Indian Hills at Mirada Fine Art on June 17th.  There is an outside chance we will drive up for it.  I hope you will stop by and see all the beautiful work by the artists in the show. I am honored by Steve Sonnen and his staff at Mirada.  
2 Chronicles 7:14New International Version (NIV)  "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
